Is it possible to have a case of the Mondays on a Tuesday?

Man, today has just been vaguely annoying all around. It started out stupid and just didn't get any better. In light of that, I really don't have a whole lot to say today. I am just looking forward to curling up with a couple of episodes of season one of Torchwood (bless the Amazon delivery man for having my package waiting for me when I got home) before the series (eep) finale of Life on Mars tonight.

Thankfully I finished up season one of Jericho on DVD last night, so I can watch Torchwood without guilt. It's only 13 episodes so I don't see any problem finishing up the season this week before the season two premiere on BBC America Saturday night. It's nice when the timing of season premieres and DVD releases line up like that.

Jericho was just as intense and incredibly compelling as I remember it being the first time around (even more so since I got to see all of the episodes I had missed). I am pretty stoked about seeing the second season and how it plays out. Thankfully CBS only ordered a short season and then produced it all and held it, so despite the strike we'll get all of the ordered episodes for this one. My fingers are crossed that the audience turns out in enough numbers that after the strike we'll have a shot at season three...

Anyhoo, now that I've wrapped up Jericho, and after I watch Torchwood, here's the pile of DVDs I have left to watch:

How I Met Your Mother (season two)
My Name is Earl (season two)
The Office (seasons one through three)
Scrubs (season six)
Twin Peaks (the whole series, box set)
Heroes (season one)

So, I find myself asking what shall I watch next? The answer? Battlestar Galactica. Yeah. I know. It's not even on the freakin' list. However, for the first time in a long time we have the complete first two seasons back at home (this is a series I lend to anyone who is even remotely interested on a regular basis, so we always have a set out it seems), and I find myself wanting to rewatch the first two seasons in preparation for season three's long awaited DVD release in March, in preparation for season four (huzzah!) in April. There's so much going on in this show, that another viewing definitely can't hurt you, and that way I won't have forgotten some random character who ends up being the final cylon or something.

So there you go. That's what's going on in my world, or at least the DVD part of it.

The only thing else I've got is regret to express about the untimely death of Heath Ledger. Talk about sudden and really just sad. I mean, this guy has done so much, and he had so much ahead of him. May he rest in peace.

Well, with that, I bid you adieu. I hope you all had a better Tuesday than I did and I wish you nothing but joy in the rest of your week.

Until next time,
C
